Watkinsville, Ga., March 7, 2018 – Marisue Hilliard, former U.S. National Forest Supervisor and newcomer to politics who is the local leader of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, today qualified to run for Georgia Senate District 46.

Lee Becker is a gem. He is undergoing medical treatment at Emory and is still covering events that most of otherwise would not be aware of. We want to send healing vibes to Lee and help in any way possible. Equal salutations to Tony Glenn, Sarah Bell, and Penny Mills (and others I am sure) for helping record the meetings. Sunshine is always the best disinfectant.
